The Visible Legacy knowledge map

The Visible Legacy knowledge map is created automatically from public resources such as curriculum vitae (CV), websites, published works and news feeds. The information is presented with interactive visualizations as timelines, thumbnails, tag clouds, and a map of relationships. The map is explored with the interactive website enabling users to navigate the connections, moving from people to projects through the Visible Legacy network of information ("the graph"). 

Wankel Engine

Visible Legacy's sophisticated algorithms disambiguate and link information: creating tags, extracting dates and keywords, finding connections, and "snapping information to the grid" of open data on the web. The information is stored in the cloud as a "graph database". Proprietary analysis algorithms (illustrated) discern collaborations, projects, and innovations. The engine constantly checks facts in rotation so we call it our Wankel Engine.

We would like to thank our technology partners.

You’ve licensed technology from a university to catalyze a project or underwritten the work of university researchers. Does the money you allocate to academic research turn into solutions and products for society, affiliated startups, newly minted faculty? How can you follow it? How do you, in turn, communicate the impact to your stakeholders?

 

As a research translator, you want to make an impact through solutions.

You are leading the innovation agenda by licensing technology leading to solutions for global problems. You want to communicate how your organization speeds the translation of research into new knowledge or breakthroughs. The continuity of these successes over time ultimately shows your impact on society.

You’ve made a grant to a university to fund a project or endow a fellowship. Does the funding you grant to a university lab turn into solutions and products for society, create startups, facilitate newly minted faculty? How can you follow your causes? How do you, in turn, communicate the impact to your stakeholders?

 

As a research funder, you want to make an impact by catalyzing solutions.

You are leading the research agenda by funding grants leading to solutions. Your efforts are for the benefit of the research ecosystem. You want to communicate how the support at the front end of projects yields new knowledge or breakthroughs. The continuity of these successes over time ultimately shows your impact on society.
